It’s a new year, a new decade even, so, why not show your house some love and give your home a new lease of life by transforming your loft into your haven. Think about the buckets of potential just above your head. Let us show you all the ways your loft space could be utilised to the best of its abilities.
Why Convert Your Loft?
Cost-effective: Loft conversions are a much cheaper way of converting your loft compared to a full extension or moving home.
Add value: By converting your loft into usable space, you can increase the value of your property by as much as 15 to 20% depending on your area.
Versatile: Your converted loft space can be used for a number of spaces, such as a bedroom or movie room. Whatever your heart desires, the loft can be the solution.
Amazing spaces
Let’s talk about all the fantastic room options you can have for your converted loft space:
Extra living space: Make the grown-up living room you have always wanted and use it for your little retreat. A place to relax and unwind after a long day.
Kids Bedroom: Small loft space? No problem! Make it into the perfect cosy kids’ room. Use a built-in cabin bed to maximise the space you have.
Bathroom: Create your dream bathroom. Let your imagination run wild and create the bathroom you have always dreamed of, perhaps with a walk-in shower and his and hers sink?
Den: Create a den for your teenagers. It’s common knowledge that teenagers need their own space, so why not allow them some freedom and create a space just for them? Or even better, let them design a space for themselves and cut your workload in half.
Playroom: Sick of having toys all over your house? Then turn your loft into one big playroom. Why not go to town? Create a room that lets their imagination run wild. Section up the room just as you see in nurseries, and have a place for arts and crafts, dress up and a reading corner.
Guest room: Give some space and tranquillity to your visitors by creating a peaceful guest room, giving them a space, they can relax in. If you end up loving the room so much, you can reclaim the room for yourself. It may even be more practical for you to have your bedroom on a different floor.
Office: Work from home or want space to start your own business like you always dreamed of? Then create yourself your workspace and turn your loft into a home office.
Gaming room: Is your partner or kids too loud when they are playing games or on the mic? Then create a separate gaming room where they won’t disturb yourself or the other members of the family.
Walk-in wardrobe: always dreamt of having your very own walk-in wardrobe somewhere you can adequately store and appreciate your clothes? Then why not create your very own walk-in wardrobe the perfect luxury.
If your only access to the loft is through another room, then a loft ladder is your new best friend you can still create a beautiful space, and with a loft ladder, you have a safe way to access it as well.
Make the most out of what you have
Use what you have to the best of its ability,
Are beams making space feel a bit pocky? Find the perfect shade of white and give them a fresh lick of paint, helping bring a bright and airy feel to the room.
Do you have any exposed brick wall? Why not make the most out of it and make it a feature wall?
Even if your loft is big enough to divide into multiple rooms, consider keeping the room open plan. Instead of separating it into various rooms to keep the light and create a bright open space, especially if you aren’t able to add windows into the room consider an open concept instead.
Have some awkward low-level space? No problem built-in storage is your new best friend, it is the perfect solution for maximising the space you have.
Hopefully, this blog post has helped to fill your brain with inspiration, on all the possibilities that your loft could be turned into. From the simple to the luxurious, from the obvious to the bizarre, whatever you choose, we hope you have fun with it and turn it into a space that you love.
